[This is Amaterasu looking positively ecstatic.]

The boundaries are gone! I am free to roam Nippon again! [Laughs brightly.] And Sakuya managed to contact Oki! I suppose I shall have to hunt down Issun and Waka myself, the troublemakers. But first, of course, I have a curse to dispel in Agata Forest~

[Bounds in place a bit.] Ah, it is so good to be free!

Ah, so it is widespread. Congratulations, then.

[Starts leaping about around him.] So it seems! And I couldn't be happier for it!

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

That sounds really nice! Ne, except the curse part. That sounds a little scary.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Waits for her to settle a bit, then kneels so they're about the same hight and makes with the pettin's] Dispelling the curse shouldn't be as hard the second time 'round, I would think.

[curious Doctor is curious]

What curse?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Eeee petting!] Not at all, I should hope! I merely have to find my way to the Guardian Sapling and bring it back to life.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah! Well, it seems that a curse I dispelled not long ago has returned to my world. I am hard at work dispelling it a second time, of course~

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

It's wonderful! But you're right, the curse can be a bit scary. If I step into a cursed zone, I slowly lose my strength until all my god powers are gone.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

So the wolf is off her leash. A day for celebration.

[Instantly serious like whoa]

What kind of curse?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Grins at him.] I am glad you agree, Jackie Estacado.

It is Yami's curse--Yami, the Lord of Darkness. It drains the life from the land and turns any nearby people into stone.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[Waves hand dismissively] Freedom is something to celebrate.

Light vs. Dark. The age old story continues then. Sounds like a pretty crappy curse to be on the business end of.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[surprised] What sort of curse is that?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

It's Yami's curse--that is, the Lord of Darkness. He is my sworn enemy.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

It is indeed!

It is. If I spend too long inside a cursed zone I lose my god powers temporarily. But that hardly compares to what happens to the earth, the plants, the animals and the people.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

Sounds like Yami is a fun guy to have around. Real life-of-the-party kind of guy.

[lamb_of_gold]

Would that I could help.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Oh, no worries! It is my responsibility, after all. [She winks at him.] Also, I'm not sure how skilled you are at making trees bloom~

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Smiles.] Oh yes--he is just a barrel of laughs~

[lamb_of_gold]

Not very, sadly.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[Grins himself, then crouches down.]

My kind of guy. Too bad that meeting is a whole other kind of impossible.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[She butts her head against his hand.] Aw, it's alright, Mu--we can't all be good at everything, can we?

[lamb_of_gold]

Perhaps you're an exception. You're a goddess after all.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not so sure about that! For instance, I can't cook at all. I'm absolutely terrible at it!

[lamb_of_gold]

Ah, but did you learn?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, Yami isn't really interested in meeting people, especially not humans--no matter how much darkness is in them. He exists for only one reason, and that is to destroy absolutely everything that is light and living.
